AMERICAN SECURITIES ABROAD.

A. =. Turner & Co., bankers and
brokers of London, England, in recent
trade circular, say: Already American
securities have wider market value than
any others They have almost as free
market in London as in New York.
At Amsterdam the market is a very large
one indeed, owing to the demand for the
investment of domestic and colonial
profits. 1t is rapidly growing in Berlin,
and Paris is also beginning to take
them. So extended market must
exert peculiar and permanent influence
on all prices"
Peace hath its victories no less than
war. Nothing short OF national dis
honor should tempt this nation to en-
ter the ruinous field OF war with
foreign nations. The consciousness
OF strength and of Il growing
prosperity enables the Republic to
show magnanimity and courtesy to in
feror nations. We have formidable in
ternal problems to solve. Let the Nation
bend its energies to the set
tlement OF these questions and in
augurate an Independent American
system of finance and generous foreign
policy. Our credit abroad stands head
and shoulders above any of the nations
of Europe. The capitalists Of the world
pay tribute to us. The material re.
sources of our mountains and plains are
attracting foreign capital. The surg
ing tides OF emigration bear tc
our shores the oppressed of other ma
tions until it becomes necessary to dis
criminate between the sheep and the
goats of foreign extraction. The extrac
we have given shows how American
securities are priced and sought for il
the money markets of the Old World

RIGHT WORDS AND TIMELY.

That was noble speech made by an
intelligent Catholic and an American
citizen, David Healy, editor of the Irish
World, at the McGlynn meeting, held
recently in New York City. He said
"The responsibility for such meeting
as this does not rest with the Catholic
people, but must fall upon the shoulders
of those who arbitrarily abused their
power. The dignity and character OF the
Catholic people are at stake; for that rea-
son nothing must be said in anger.
Many people have an idea that in
politics we are controlled by foreign au-
thority. | come here to say that |
and all to whom l have talked are not.
Moreover, Catholics are able to show,
and will show their ability to exercise
their franchise as American citizens with
responsibility only to their Maker. We
recognize the authority OF the church in
its own, but in its own sphere only. \
In the exercise Of our rights as citizens,
we recognize no higher authority than
the Constitution. i"
This is timely talk and is to be com
mended to all those, and there are many
in this country, who are improperly en-
trusted with the franchise, and who
recognize some other authority than an
enlightened conscience and the Constitu-
ton OF the Nation. Such people, whether
found in Utah or elsewhere, deserve dis
franchisement.

THE QUEENS SPEECH.


The first sentence of the Queens
speech at the opening of Parliament
must have convinced Senator Ingalls,
that his denunciation of blarsted "Iold
Hengland'' has not disturbed the equa-
nimity of the elderly lady who, jointly
with Old Nick, governs that bold, bad
country. She says: "My relations with
all foreign Powers are friendly" Every
thing is lovely and the Canada goose
hangs high. Not even the shadow of Il
flying fish obscures the peaceful outlook.
This fiftieth edition of the Queens
speech is tribute to the stereotype pro-
cess. 1t begins like the first issue half a
century ago, with, MY lords and gentle
men, for lords are not all gentlemen
and ends with an invocation to the AL
mighty that he would enlighten their
ignorance and deal gently with their
transgressions. Between these two saw
ing clauses, my lords and gentlemen OBJ
tain but little insight into the affairs OF the
kingdom. But, on account of its brevity,
the speech is concentrated wit when com
pared with those inflicted upon our
Yankee "lords and gentlemen" at the
opening OF every session OF Congress.
The homeopathic word doses administered
by British officials stand out in strong
contrast to our allopathic practice, and
may explain the remarkable mortality
among our public men. "God save the
Queen" from long speeches and a short
life

THE RAILROAD DEBT.

On the 9th instant the United States
Senate adopted resolution calling upon
the Secretary OF the Treasury for infor-
nation as to the sums of money owing
to the United States by Pacific Railroads.
This week Secretary Manning sent the
following reply to the President of the
Senate:
81 have the honor to state that the
amount due from the several Pacific
Railroad Companies for interest paid on
subsidy bonds was $40, 1854 1926, of which
there has been repaid by the companies
$2l ,522, IA, leaving due $40, ,302, ,lSl
There will be due on the same account
at the maturity of the subsidy bonds
September IL, 1897, the further sum OF
$43 ,406,92l, making a total of $92, ,709,
103 due and to become due on account
OF interest. There is also to be
come due on account of~principal $64,
623,5l2, making an aggregate indebted
ness due and to become due OF $l57 ,332,
6l5."
1t is stated, says the Winnemucca Silver
State, though not officially, that the
Pacific Railroad Companies desire an ex-
tension of time for the payment OF the
debt, claiming that they cannot meet
their obligations at maturity The Coy
ernment has second mortgage on the
roads, the first being held by private in.
dividuals, and ii it insists on payment it
will have to foreclose its mortgage, pay
off the first mortgage and go into the
railroad business. While many may
consider this desirable, there are serious
objections to it, and it is not likely to
meet with popular favor.
There is more money in the National
Treasury now than the Government
seems disposed to utilize, and il the rail
roads make the payment OF the debt
secure, and payof stated and reason
able amount OF it annually, the people,
who are really the creditors, would
doubtless be satisfied,

INTERSTATE COMMERCE BILL.

Railroad men and investors in railway
shares, appreciating the fact that the
Inter. State Commerce bill is to become
q law, are interested in discussions on the
probable effects of the law. BradstreePs
of the 22d instant says "The pas
sage of the bill by no means
produced the break which the
active bears predicted. 1t is
astonishing with what rapidly Wall
Street has become accustomed to the
measure. There are of course prognos
tications OF trouble arising out OF the dis
puted clauses of the bill, but in general
more interest attaches in Wall Street to
the personnel and methods of the Com
mission which will be the result OF the
BILL"
Presuming that the Commissioners
will be chosen with regard to their
knowledge and experience in railway
management, it is claimed that good ma
terial cannot be obtained at the salary
$7.50O-fixed by the bill. This only
shows that that class OF men are already
paid exorbitant salaries by the com
panies. 20 long as the shareholders and
subordinate officers and responsible
employees Of the companies are paiC
meagre dividends and salaries, good
management would seem to require
that the salaries of the higher
officers OF the road should be kept within
reasonable bounds. When salaries fol
quite ordinary business men range from
$4,000 to $25, 900 per annum, it indicates
that there is something rotten in Den
mark" and that II mutual admiration
society have the ordering of their owl
remuneration. The first requisite o
the commissioners to be appointed is
that they shall be unpurchasable. What
ever they may lack in the technica
knowledge OF railway affairs under tn,
present pooling and extravagant admin
istration of the companies, will come t,
them in the prosecution OF broad an,
liberal Interpretation OF confessedl,
ambiguous law. 1t is evident that tn
higher courts OF the Nation will be calle,
upon to settle its meaning and unrave
its intricaces.

more likely to be shadowed by
the prejudices of gold-bugs than
otherwise. That silver has touched
its lowest point cannot be doubted. The
tide may and will ebb and flow, but its
general course will and must be upward
The worlds demand for all OF gold and
silver that can be produced is
an imperious one and cannot be ignored
or turned aside by gold spectators.
The true equilibrium between the
precious metals, disturbed temporarily
as it has been, with ruinous effect,
will be restored permanently and
rapidly with concurrent legislative action
under the pressure OF popular demand.

Latest advices from England show the
market for silver firm, but dull. The
movement of silver bullion toward New

decline in silver is more likely
than an advance. But Wall street il

a PIN.

o. know q certain woman who is reckoned
with the good,
bot she fills me with more terror than q raging
lion would.
The little chills run up and down my spine
whene'er we meet.
Though she seems gentle creature and she 9
very trim and neat.
And she has a thousand virtues and not one &C
knowledged sin,
But she is the sort Of person you could iken to
apin.
And she pricks you and she sticks you, in a way
that can't be said
When you seek for what has hurt you, why, you
can not find the head.
But she fills you with discomfort and eIaspera
ting pain
II anybody asks you why, you really can't OK

a pin IS snch tiny thing-of that there is DO
doubt
Yet when IT'S sticking in your flesh, you're
wretched till it's out!
She is wonderfully observilg-when she meets
She is always sure to tell her if her bang is
out Of curl
And she IS so sympathetic to her friend, who's
much admired,
She is often heard rernarking: Dear you look
so worn and tired
And she is a careful critic; for on yesterday she
eyed
The new dress was airing with a woman's nat
urtli prlue.
And she said: 80, how becoming" and then
softly added: 1T
Is really misfortune that the basque is such
a it,
Then she said: ''If you had heard me yesterere,
I'm sure, my friend.
You would say am a champion who knows how
to defend"
And she len me with the feeling-nost uupleas-
ant, aver
That the Whole world would despise me if had
not been for her.
Whenever encounter her, in such a nameless
way
SHE gives me the impression am at my worst
that day.
And the hat that was imported (and that cost
me half sonnet)
With just one glance from her round eyes be-
comes Bowery bonnet.
She is always bright and smiling sharp and
shining for a thrust
Use does not seem to blunt her point, nor does
she gather rust

would begin
TO tidy up the world for me, by picking up this

Nations are now taking rank in the

that creates great armies. builds power

schools soldiers, establishes institutions
of learning. projects and executes great
enterprises. Wealth is the expression
of what 4 people has accomplished.
The nations of the old world had an
immense start of the United States in
the amount of wealth they had accumu-
lated when the country became an indie
pendent government. Their cities were
built, their bridges were then over their
streams, their castles were constructed,
their dwellings for working people were
built, their fields were cultivated, their
VINEYARDS were bearing, their orchards
were yielding fruit. their factories were
established. All this represented the
accumulated wealth of many centuries.
The United States began with nothing,
or nearly nothing. The people of this
country have now worked a century.
The United States is now the richest
nation on the globe

COY ROOF GARDENS.
How n Sensible New York Capitalist Makes
Hot Weather Endurable.

Hot Weather EndurabIe.
''No, am not going to the country
this summer" said a rich and decidedly
original friend of mine, the other day,
in New York, in response to the stereo-
typed question which greets every body
in the summer season. Il shall spend
a month in the mountains in the autumn
when the foliage begins to turn. but the
summer l shall spend in my roof
garden" suppose l stared at him
blankly, for he laughed. and added:
Eyes, my roof garden; come up and see
it. All the advantages of the country, no
mosquitoes, no malaria, cool air, large
airy bedrooms, house with all modern
improvements. and all that sort of
thing. Come up and dine with ME and
l will show you"
We strolled up the avenue and entered
his house, on Murray hill After a
capital dinner my friend smiled as he
led the way to the elevator.
1--WE will have coffee and cigars in
the garden"
When l had assembled the stairway
and stepped through the scuttle 1 could
hardly believe that l was on the top of
one of the commonplace brown-stone
houses of fashionable New York. The
fiat roof had been covered with a mar
row Slated flooring. Potted plants
and shrubs in boxes delighted the eye,
relieved the sharp angles of the caves,
and hid the chimneys. A large marquee.
such as we see Oh country lawns, pro-
tected us from the sun, and rugs, cane
easy-chairs, hammocks, two or three
small bamboo tables, and multitude
of Chinese lanterns made the roof seem
a bit of fairyland.
What do you think Of it?" he said,
gayly, as we seated ourselves and his
wife made the coffee in one of those
French balance coffee-pots which make
the best coffee in the world. 1t was
charming, and told him so.

LIVING HoNEY-JARS.
Industrious Insects That Constitute Them

Industrious Insects That Constitute Them
selves Actual Reservoirs
Ii evidence were wanting that certain
ants voluntarily make sacrifices for
others the case of the honey ant would
be sufficient. That ants should keep
domestic animals and perform the HIM
dred and one intelligent acts that they
do is remarkable but that certain men,
bers of tribe should either by election
or selection constitute themselves ac-
tual living bottles or reservoirs for the
rest seems beyond the range of posi-
bility, yetsuchis the case. Many years
ago French naturalist, Mr.. Wesmael.
described a Mexican ant, Myrmecocytus
Mexicanus, which was brought from
Mexico by NJ. de Normann. making the
remarkable announcement that in the
division of labor certain ants were
literally living honey-jars or store
houses for the others. This statement
was deemed incredible at the time. but
was confirmed by many observers rs
Lucas, Edwards, Saunders, Black and
others.
Two different genete are now known.
one CampOnotus ihfatus, from Austria
liza, and the one already given which
ranges from Mexico up to Colorado
Springs, where in the Garden of the
Gods they have been carefully studied
by DIR. McCook. In this locality the
nests of these ants may be observed as
small elevations over the ridges of dis
integrating rocks that form the char
acteristic of the wonderful garden. If
we die down and with hammer or axe
cut into the stone we shall find in all
probability among the swarm of ants
several kinds and one remarkable for
its enormously distended abdomen.
This is one of the work ers that by
agreement, or in some way, has con-
scented to hold supply of food for the
rest. The living bottles are kept by
the other ants in room by themselves,
and are generally found clinging to
the wall OF their cell utterly helpless.
DR.. McCook found by carefully watch
ing them that these ants were chiefly
night-workers, starting out in the even
irg about seven o'clock, and march
ing in lines to some low bushes
in the vicinity. Examination showed
that they were clustering about
the small gals, formed by the gall
fly, Cynips quercusmellaria, from
which they obtained their honey. Each
ant upon taking a supply returned to
the nest and there delivered it up to the
ants with the large abdomens, who re-
ceived it, holding it in bond, as it were,
until wanted by the others. When the
workers desired food they touched or
caressed the living jars with their at
tennae, upon which it was produced
by muscular contraction of the bottles
and taken from their mouths by the
hungry workers.
The nests contained, on an average,
about two hundred of these honey bear
ers, representing about one-fOurth of
pound of honey stored in this remark
able way. In Old Mexico strangers are
sometimes presented at dessert with
pellucid globes of honey to be eaten as
we would eat a grape, the delicacy
being the honey ant that is considered
a bonnie bouche by the Mexican cpl
cure. The honey is believed by natives
to have medicinal virtueS.-C. +. Hold
